Chapter 493: How can this be?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Fire Impact! Meteor Volcano!”
The ground below glowed red, and Li Yi’s HP continued to drop. In a blink of an eye, it had already bottomed out. Li Yi quickly chugged down a bottle of Divine Essence Potion to regain his lost health.
A red-haired White Elf female clad in red robes had risen her staff and was shooting an endless stream of attacks towards Li Yi.
Li Yi hurriedly activated his Rocket Propellant, raced to the White Elf female’s side, and shot out his legs.
“Flame Dragon’s Howl!”
“Boom!”
The red-haired female was sent flying. Li Yi fired three arrows and she responded by activating ‘Magic s.h.i.+eld’, which allowed her to survive his attack.
.
A Wizard’s Magic s.h.i.+eld had the powerful effect of reducing all damage by 90%. Though Li Yi’s attacks were powerful, they did minimal damage against Wizards who had activated their s.h.i.+elds.

The moment the red-haired female landed onto the ground, she immediately cast her spell. A dragon made of flames bared its fangs as it surged forth from the tip of her staff and hurtled directly towards Li Yi.
‘Ultimate Fire Magic — Flaming Dragon Spell!’
The flame dragon opened its maw and engulfed the area in its flames. In terms of the area it covered, it was no weaker than Flaming Phoenix’s Flame Shower Spell.
It was at that moment that Li Yi caught a glimpse of the female’s face. He was instantly stunned. He allowed the flame dragon to bear down on him and did not move a single muscle.
Cras.h.!.+ Li Yi collapsed on the floor, dead…
‘Qian’er!’
The red-haired female before him was Qian’er!
Li Yi was totally baffled.
Qian’er had an angry look on her face, and even though Li Yi was already lying dead on the ground, she was still enraged.
She had come to the Invincible Continent complete a quest. However, she had felt a pang of heat as she walked past the area. She also noticed that her HP decreased intermittently, and as such, she concluded that there was a powerful boss in the area. In order to prepare herself, she planned to change into her fire-resistant equipment.
Unexpectedly, just as she was putting on her equipment, Li YI suddenly logged in beside her. To make matters worse, he had even grabbed her a.s.sets.
Had she known that things would end up this way, she would have turned off the option that allowed contact with strangers long ago.
Qian’er was furious.
Back on the ground, Li Yi sighed. “Lady, I didn’t do it on purpose…”
Li Yi’s external appearance had been altered to appear average-looking using a Trickery Ring. Because of that, Qian’er could not identify him, despite them having met in real life.
Qian’er pointed her staff at Li Yi and asked, “So, you’re Dark Wing?”
The Orange Quality Bow was Li Yi’s symbol. For the moment, Li Yi was still the only one with an Orange Quality Bow in all of King of Pantheon. As such, it was not a surprise that Qian’er could identify him.
“Yep.”
Qian’er snorted, “I heard that Dark Wing was a perverted sleazebag. From what I have seen today, it really is true.”
“You’ve heard of me?”
Qian’er sneered, “Who hasn’t heard of the Perverted G.o.d?” 1
“Lady, tell me you’re not going to camp me.”
“Why not?” Qian’er raised her brow.
“You aren’t a match for me. If you camp me, you’ll just regret it.”
Irritated by Li Yi’s words, Qian’er mocked, “Haha, but who’s lying on the ground now?”
“Me.”
“Words mean nothing. I’ve already decided to camp you tonight. If you’re not happy about it, feel free to stand up and challenge me.”
“Those who are fated will be brought together, and those who aren’t will never meet. Lady, it’s not that I can’t beat you, but personally, I feel like we’re close acquaintances in another life. That’s why I held back.”
Qian’er stood still for 3 seconds, before hiding her mouth and laughing. Her laugh was pretty cute, and the way her huge bosoms bounced up and down made the hearts of observers flutter with joy.
“We’re acquaintances in another life? Don’t you think that that pick-up line of yours sucks?”
“Pick-up line?” Li Yi flinched, before explaining, “I really am speaking the truth…”
Qian’er did not answer him. Instead, she gripped her staff and camped beside his corpse.
Li Yi released his soul and corpse-ran back. However, he did not resurrect. Instead, he spoke to Qian’er in soul form.
“Hey beautiful, what’s your name?”
Qian’er rolled her eyes, but she did not answer.
“Hmm, let me guess your name. Since your skin is so white, and you have amazing body proportions, I’m guessing that your surname is Bai?” 2
“Hey beautiful, you don’t have a boyfriend yet, right?”
Qian’er did not mutter a single word to Li Yi’s onslaught of questions. Instead, she silently chanted her spell and erected Fire Walls around Li Yi’s corpse.
If Li Yi stayed in the soul form for too long, he would be forcefully resurrected at the temple.
Li Yi’s time in soul form was coming to an end soon.
“Say, once I stand up, you definitely won’t be able to defeat me. So, why bother?”
Li Yi resurrected and used the Brainwas.h.i.+ng Helm to attack Qian’er.
Zip! Zap!
The Brainwas.h.i.+ng Ray had disappeared. His attempt at mind control had failed.
The blazing Fire Walls continued to burn, and Li Yi’s health rapidly decreased. Fortunately for him, he summoned Violent Bear King in the nick of time and activated Protection.
His health fully recovered and his state of Weakness gone, the Fire Walls that burned beneath his feet were no longer a threat.
“Fiery Explosion Missile!”
Qian’er pointed her staff at him, and rained down a huge orb of fire, directly onto Li Yi’s head.
“Are we still going to fight, beautiful?”
“Meteor Volcano!”
Qian’er’s legs lightly lifted off the ground. With her staff still held aloft, she rained b.a.l.l.s of fire vehemently towards Li Yi.
Li Yi activated G.o.d Mode, beat his wings, flew to the sky, and erased all traces of his presence in the blink of an eye.
Qian’er’s attacks were aggressive, but since she did not have a flying mount, she was powerless as Li Yi flew away.
Qian’er menacingly stomped her foot onto the ground, but she did not give chase. Instead, she followed the lingering traces of heat and found Flaming Phoenix’s corpse.
Qian’er took out a carving knife and stooped beside Flaming Phoenix’s corpse to loot it.
5 minutes pa.s.sed, and not a single feather had dropped from Flaming Phoenix.
Since Flaming Phoenix was not really dead, but only temporarily Soul Bound, it was not a surprise that she could not carve it.
“Drats! Must have been that b*stard Dark Wing who killed it.”
Qian’er shook her head exasperated. She kept her carving knife, summoned a small red horse, and trotted off towards the East.
Li Yi was currently high above the clouds, following Qian’er closely on Black-feathered Golden Eagle.
He keyed in ‘Gongsun Chuqian’ into the Divine Looking Gla.s.s, only to receive the notification that the player did not exist…
Qian’er had changed her name. It was not the one that she used in her previous life.
Li Yi was even more curious now. He could not think of the reason that would cause Lin Qian to change her in-game-name.
Lin Qian continued walking towards the East. It appeared that she was heading towards Blade Peak.
It was currently the dead of the night and the number of players currently online was much lower compared to during the day. It was for this reason that Qian’er had decided to enter Invincible Continent to complete her task at this time.
Along the way, she carefully tread around the Invincible Continent players who were still training and before long, she had made her way to the foot of the mountain.
Once he saw Qian’er leaping up Blade Peak, Li Yi instantly understood that her goal was to meet Augustus.
“So, you plan to do the Level 60 Epic-level Cla.s.s Quest, eh?”
Li Yi quietly muttered to himself and used Teleport to return to the Celestial Capital. He retrieved 5 miscellaneous items and an Ice Toad King’s Mount from the treasury and Teleported back to Blade Peak.
Qian’er was using ‘Flash’ and ‘Levitation Skill’ to climb up the mountain, but it was extremely dangerous. Qian’er was no Jiaojiao, and her jumping ability was only half of Jiaojiao’s. If she really planned to climb up the mountain, she would need to die at least a hundred times before she even stood a chance succeeding.
Unsurprisingly, Qian’er had slipped and fallen to her death when Li Yi returned to the foot of Blade Peak.
Li Yi placed the 5 items and the mount in an area of the mountain she was bound to pa.s.s by and hid in a corner to observe her reaction.
A while later, Qian’er had arrived. When she saw the 5 items and the Ice Toad King’s Mount littered on the ground, she was extremely surprised. She even called out, “Who dropped their items?”
‘Looks like Big-t.i.ts Qian is still as kind as in the past life…’
Li Yi was sweating nervously.
Before long, Qian’er had taken Toad King’s Mount for her personal use, packed up the 5 miscellaneous items, and leapt up the mountain on her new mount.
She tripped and then leapt up again repeatedly. The way Qian’er was progressing was reminiscent of how Li Yi had first climbed up Blade Peak.
Li Yi was still observing from a corner. Giving Qian’er the 5 items and the mount was the extent of his help. Whether she could make it up the mountain would depend on her own abilities now.
The Level 60 Epic-level Cla.s.s Quest for Fire Wizards required them to find and talk to Augustus. However, it was pretty aggravating as Augustus would demand the players bring him 5 precious items after they had made the treacherous climb up the mountain. If they did not have any precious items on them, they would be forced to return, and the whole process of going back and forth was highly torturous…
Qian’er kept on trying, from the middle of the night until morning the next day. She had already spent 7 hours in her attempts, but she finally managed to gain a foothold.
“It’s about time to go up, no?”
Li Yi yawned. He was about to ‘Teleport’ to meet up with Flaming Phoenix until he saw a black-armored, long-legged chick climbing up Blade Peak on Ice Toad King’s Mount.
‘Jiaojiao?’
Li Yi flinched. He narrowed his eyes and confirmed that the person was indeed Jiaojiao.
‘Qian’er is climbing up, and so is Jiaojiao. Don’t tell me they’re going to fight.”
Li Yi summoned Ice Toad King’s mount and followed closely behind Jiaojiao.
Climbing up Blade Peak was as easy as pie for Li Yi now. There was no difficulty at all, and though he did not dare climb up with his eyes closed, he had no problems doing it with his eyes open.
If Li Yi could do it, so could Jiaojiao. Plus, Jiaojiao leapt at an even greater pace than Li Yi. Her leaps were also more stable. Though initially, Li Yi had followed closely behind Jiaojiao, as time went on, he could no longer even detect her presence.
By the time Li Yi had reached the summit of Blade Peak, he was shocked at the scene that unfolded before him.
Jiaojiao and Qian’er were holding each other’s hands affectionately and were having a chat. from the way they interacted, it seemed like they had been sisters for life.
“This can’t be right. This can’t be right! Jiaojiao and Qian’er were indeed best friends in the previous life, but this wasn’t how they met. This… this…” Li Yi stuttered.
Qian’er and Jiaojiao were having a blast, laughing and gossiping together. However, since Li Yi was standing too far from them, Li Yi could not catch what they were saying.
“How can this be? I clearly remember Jiaojiao and Lin Qian meeting up in the past life because of my actions. So, how did things change so much in this life? What on earth are they talking about?”
Just as Li Yi was having his doubts, Jiaojiao energetically smacked Qian’er’s thighs, whereas Qian’er made a funny face at Jiaojiao, and lifted up Jiaojiao’s b.o.o.bs. Following that, Jiaojiao did the same and lifted Qian’er’s as well, and the two ended up laughing all over it.
Li Yi was truly dumbfounded…
‘Aren’t these actions too affectionate?’
Qian’er and Jiaojiao continued to chat for a while. Qian’er then stood up and waved goodbye to Jiaojiao before she headed towards Augustus.
Augustus activated a magical gate for Qian’er and after travelling through it, she was transported back to her continent.
“Bye-bye!” Jiaojiao waved her little hands and watched as the magical gate disappeared.
Li Yi could no longer hold it in. He steered Ice Toad King to jump up, and he arrived at the summit of Blade Peak.
He wanted to hear Jiaojiao’s explanation of what had just transpired!
